Comments please on how the sharp edges and radii up the back of the dash/scuttle area might affect my build if I go ahead with these following pictures.

I can only say of my experience of SVA in 2004..

The bottom of the dash has to be 19mm radius.

Everything built in or under, so to speak, has to radiused, IIRC 3-4mm, or 'edged' with trim... I did this and had no problems....and he did look thoroughly.

If you think of what a flaying leg/foot/hand/ arm may come into contact with in, say an 'emergency stop' situation, check it and radii or cover those edges.

i'd say fozzie pretty much has it covered, but just a thought......

if you used buttton head bolts on the megasquirt panel and bolted them up the other way so the bolt heads were on the underside of the panel, it'd cut down on a lot of the sharp edges presented, or the number of nut covers you'd need.

it may not be practical but i though it was worth mentioning.

I was going to cover the bottom of the megasquirt panel with foam panel because of these bolts. As I'd already built it all up to fit elsewhere and everything seems to be 2 steps back at the moment.

I've been through a couple of low points already but the wife says I've all the patience in the world for stuff like this but very little for people And yes I will get there but so far it's been 2 years.

Awww.... You will soon be surprised, that the little glimmer of light, at the end of that long tunnel, will suddenly get bigger and brighter.........
